An Outlaw Makes It Home: The Awakening of a Spiritual Revolutionary

Can drugs, sex and revolution lead to lasting fulfillment and love? An Outlaw Makes It Home answers this while showing us the tests and traps along the way that each of us must meet in life.

An Outlaw Makes It Home is an odyssey, a journey out and a return home. A candid, compelling and raucous spiritual adventure story, with an element of danger when Eli goes underground as a federal fugitive during the Vietnam War. From underground revolutionary to spiritual awakening, he takes us with him from uncharted outback of Peru to a monastery in Japan, an initiation into a Sufi clan in Marrakesh, and the streets of India in his quest for a final teacher.

„An Outlaw Makes It Home, bares it all in this rapid fire compilation of adventures. A serious quest for spiritual wisdom and enlightenment with a startling turn in the heartwarming discovery after an eighteen year search.
Jaxon-Bear does not spare himself or try to polish his flaws and mistakes: in that regard, he is a warrior. I consumed this book in huge gulps and would do it again. I urge others to read it.“

Peter Coyote,Emmy award winning actor and author of The Rainman’s Third Cure

„An Outlaw Makes It Home, can be seen as a coming of age story, a modern journey of self-discovery, but it is also a classic hero’s journey: an odyssey and a return home.
What a journey, and what a home! Eli takes us from a shattering moment in a Brooklyn childhood through radical and sometimes terrifying times in the 60’s, being literally outside the law, escape to Peru, lots of drugs and women, Japan, Morocco, India, learning to be a farmer of sorts back home in the US…. all the way to waking up and discovering what home truly is.
His honesty about fear and failure are very moving, but what really shines forth from these pages is a fierce love and commitment to the truth.
I absolutely loved An outlaw makes it home!“

„I couldn’t put it down. A raw honest and heart opening account of a love-warriors journey through chaos and rebellion into enlightenment. I highly recommend this book to everyone. It brings us on the journey from the 60s rebellion to 21st century consciousness transformation. Bravo Eli!“

„AN OUTLAW MAKES IT HOME: An inspiring adventure story, taking us from the mountains of Peru to the streets of India on a breath-taking search for enlightenment.“

„I’m blown away by this magnificent life journey!–that you were never to be held back by anything, period. I was shown, in many passages, how I regularly accept lesser versions of myself instead of pushing through those points that need to be transcended. Thanks for all the lessons, insights and anecdotes.“

Daniel Boeskey

„I am awed by his mythic journey of self exploration towards awakening. Eli relentlessly pursues justice, challenges his traditional teachings and constantly follows the sacred path of the spiritual seeker.
A true Godwrestler of the Yehudi tribe, I bow to Eli for declaring and living his truth: “Any path can lead home. It is the heart of the seeker not the path that is important.” This book is a fast moving page turner, alive and exciting. I applaud Eli’s honesty, drive and natural story telling ability.“

Rabbi Sue Morningstar, Ashland, OR

„Teachings I’d never known yet somehow recognized as doors of understanding opened my mind and heart. A compelling read, Eli’s brutal honesty constantly blowing my mind while traveling through the Revolution of the Sixties… witnessing the Liberation into true Freedom bringing me home to my Self! Thank you for taking this bodacious journey.“
